Like most of my generation I spent many an hour everyday, often 3 or more, in front of the television. That number has shifted more or less over the years until one day several years ago I discovered YouTube. YouTube is a website where anyone can create and upload videos to share with the public. While viral videos of cats, babies, vlogs and people hurting themselves continue to be ridiculously popular; product reviews, news and how-to videos are heavily represented. As someone who has tried to help people over the phone with technical issues or any number of other problems, it brings a great deal of joy to my day when I can go on YouTube and find a video of a professional demonstrating exactly how to solve the problem. I am seeing this very heavily in the IT profession as well. There are entire series on various technology related issues and how to handle them your self. I personally learned years ago how to use a soldering iron properly. I have included a few links below to examples of this amazing trend, including one put out by YouTube on how to use YouTube, and I hope to see it continue.
